Seattle Pacific Women's Soccer History 

Perhaps no other sport in the existence of Seattle Pacific University athletics generated as 

much fanfare as the decision to add women’s soccer as a 12th varsity program. An 

overflow audience of more than a hundred students, staff and community representatives 

converged on Falcon Lounge on the afternoon of March 7, 2000, to hear President Philip 

Eaton announce the decision. 

It was an announcement which had been some 20 years in the making. Initially the 

obstacle was the lack of a suitable facility. The men’s team rented various fields and 

stadia from 1968-96. However, with the opening of Interbay Stadium in 1997 the effort to 

create a women’s program intensified. 

Women’s soccer was designated as the next new sport in the athletic department’s fiveyear 

plan of 1997. Funding for the program’s implementation was approved by the Board 

of Trustees in the winter of 2000. Eaton and athletic director Tom Box then enlisted 

men’s coach Cliff McCrath and longtime U.S. World Cup star and Seattle native Michelle 

Akers to help shape the program. 

“I am tremendously excited 

about the opportunity this 

offers our women students,” 

said Eaton. “As you know, our 

history in men’s soccer under 

Cliff McCrath’s leadership has 

been outstanding. We look 

forward to establishing a 

similar tradition in the women’s 

program.” 

The sport first gained a 

foothold on the SPU campus in 

the Eighties, when a women’s 

team prospered as a club 

The Falcons' inaugural home game was officiated by World Cup and 

WUSA referee Sandra Hunt 

competing in the Northwest Collegiate Soccer Conference. With the dissolution of the 

NCSC after the 1993 season it was no longer possible for school-sponsored clubs to 

regularly schedule games with local varsity teams. 

It was a former player of McCrath’s, Bobby Bruch, who was selected as the first head 

coach on Oct. 17, 2000. 

Seattle Pacific opened its inaugural season Aug. 25, 2001 by tying Point Loma Nazarene 

1-1 on the road and then scored its first win three days later at Vanguard. The Falcons 

won their home opener Sept. 8, 2001, by defeating fellow Great Northwest Athletic 

Conference member Central Washington 2-1. 

After contending for the conference crown up until the final week of the first season, SPU 

has claimed four straight GNAC titles and NCAA tournament berths in each of the last 

three campaigns. 

Chuck Sekyra, another alum, succeeded Bruch as coach in 2003 and promptly led the 

Falcons to a national ranking. In Sekyra’ third season, the team finished the regular 

season unbeaten for the second year in a row and reached the national championship 

game.

Great Northwest Athletice Conference History 

The Great Northwest Athletic Conference may be relatively new in name but it already 

holds a prominent position within the NCAA Division II arena. Formed in September of 

2000 and entering its sixth season of championship play in 2006, the GNAC is comprised 

of nine members in four western states. 

Three of the members–Alaska Anchorage, Alaska Fairbanks and Seattle Pacific–were 

charter members of the old Great Northwest Conference for men's basketball in 1982. 

The GNC merged with the women's Continental Divide Conference to form the Pacific 

West Conference in 1992. Each of the GNAC members competed in the PacWest through 

the 2000-01 season. 

Alaska Anchorage, Alaska Fairbanks and Seattle Pacific are longtime Division II members. 

Former NAIA programs Central Washington, Saint Martin's, Western Oregon and 

Western Washington joined in 1998. Northwest Nazarene and Seattle University came 

aboard in 1999. Montana State Billings, another former PacWest member, will be added 

in 2007-08. 

The multi-sport conference sponsors championship play in 12 sports: baseball, men's and 

women's basketball, men's and women's cross country, football, men's and women's 

soccer, softball, men's and women's track & field and women's volleyball. Men's basketball, 

women's basketball and women's volleyball feature full nine-team fields. 

Competing for the women's soccer championship in 2006 will be Central Washington, 

Northwest Nazarene, Seattle Pacific, Seattle University, Western Oregon and Western 

Washington. SPU has won the past four conference titles.

NCAA Division II Championships 

The NCAA Division II Championships tournament was first contested in 1988 following 

six years of being combined with Division I teams in a single tournament. The field of 

participants has grown over the years and now stands at 32 teams. Initially, from 1988- 

90, only four teams received invitations. That figure was raised to six in 1991, eight in 

1995, 12 in 1996, 16 in 2003 and 24 in 2004. 

Since 1997, the NCAA has divided the nation into eight regions. Regional champions 

will be determined from four-team tournaments in the first two rounds. Quarterfinal 

pairings will be as follows: Far West-Midwest, South-Southeast, New England-Northeast 

and Central-Great Lakes. Winners advance to the semifinals. 

The semifinal and final rounds have been held at a common site (one of the semifinalists 

designated as host) since 1988. Pensacola, Florida, will be the site of the men's and 

women's final rounds in 2006. New Hampshire's Franklin Pierce College has captured 

the NCAA women's championship in five times. 

Seattle Pacific is aligned in the Far West Region, which has produced four national 

champions, including UC San Diego, both in 2000 and '01. Of the Great Northwest 

Athletic Conference members, only SPU has qualified for the postseason three times. 

Humboldt State (1996) and Seattle University (2004) are the only other NCAA participants.
